Smart to start charging Php2 per 1MB this November 28

Smart has announced last week that they will be changing their default data charging rate from Php5USD 0.09INR 7EUR 0.08CNY 0.62 for 15 minutes to Php2USD 0.03INR 3EUR 0.03CNY 0.25 for every 1MB. This is effective November 28, 2017. The new Php2USD 0.03INR 3EUR 0.03CNY 0.25/MB rate now removes the default time-based charging for all Smart Postpaid accounts.

We are enhancing our pay-per-use data billing model of Php 5USD 0.09INR 7EUR 0.08CNY 0.62 for every 15 minutes of data consumed to Php 2USD 0.03INR 3EUR 0.03CNY 0.25 for every 1MB consumed. With this enhancement, we will be able to better serve you and your data needs. Please read below to know the new benefits, features, and change in postpaid experience — Effective November 28, 2017

All existing Smart postpaid comes with an Add-on Data Plan. If the data allocation for the plan has been completely depleted, subscribers may choose to (1) subscribe to another data add-on plan OR (2) enroll to the Php2USD 0.03INR 3EUR 0.03CNY 0.25/MB default data rate by texting DATA ON to 9999.

You get notifications when your Php2USD 0.03INR 3EUR 0.03CNY 0.25/MB usage reaches Php500USD 9INR 722EUR 8CNY 62, Php1,000USD 17INR 1,445EUR 16CNY 124 and Php2,000USD 34INR 2,889EUR 32CNY 248 amount. The additional charges stop at Php2,500USD 43INR 3,612EUR 41CNY 310 so you won’t pay for data more than this amount. Technically, you will get unlimited data at Php2,500USD 43INR 3,612EUR 41CNY 310. However, your speed will be throttled to just 128Kbps until the end of the billing cycle.

  1. bale, 500 pesos for 250MB of data? Pag accident mong na-update or download ang apps mo, yari ka sa charges.

  2. i can not take smart’s word that it will be better. it will be more expensive. Just imagine how many mb does a web site has? if it’s 5mb then everytime you load that site, 10 will be charged everytime. kalokohan sinasabi nilang better service because you will pay more.

  3. Globe 2GB = 90php gotscombo promo for 1 week
    Smart 2GB = 4kphp

    GOOD JOB SMART HAHAHA

  4. Damn! I’m a heavy data user. And my bill is pegged at ~P2,500/month. it is very seldom that I encounter slowdowns. I consume over 1.25GB/day. With this new data charging, I can only enjoy LTE speeds for 1 day (1.24GB = P2,500) and the rest of days (29-30 days) of my billing cycle, my speed will be throttled to 128kbps (unless I register to other data packages)?! Tama ba pagka-intindi ko? Damn!

  5. is not this an overpriced allocation in Postpaid subscribers? if a postpaid subscriber consumed 600MB on top of his plan399 with 3GB allocation. He will pay Php1200 more?

  6. 35 to 45 cents per MB sounds fair for postpaid subscribers.

  7. Sige pa SMART, itaboy nyo ng itaboy lahat ng subscribers nyo sa kabila. Wala na bang maisip yung mga jurassic sa kumpanya nyong gawin kundi kumita agad pero in the long run ay maubos yung mga subscribers nyo dahil sa pagkagahaman nyong kumita ng malaki ngayon. Sayang ang ginagawa nyong expansion ng network nyo kung wala ng gagamit nito dahil lumipat na sa kabila ang mga subscribers nyo.

  8. smartass move trying to be streetwise?

  9. simply amazing

  10. PUTANG INA!

  11. anu yan kagaguhan ginagawa ng smart -..- 2php per 1m anu to TAXI bakit nd na lang keo mag sara OVER priced naman ata yan LIPAT NA SA GLOBE MALAMANG o

  12. Sogod GLOBE!!!big mistake Smart.nc try

  13. THE ABSOLUTELY WORST “mvp”-inspired (or desperate) IDIOCY pldt/smart has ever thought of doing for its consumers. FACEBOOK & CHINA Telecoms will EAT YOU ALIVE! JUST WAIT, YOU TIMAWAS!!!

  14. dapat pala 0.015 cents per MB sa postpaid

  15. I’m not a subscriber but I’m not happy about it. I didn’t see any benefit.

  16. Globe is laughing out loud for this and they love it!

  17. Paurong ata magisip ang smart? Hindi naman April 1 ngayon? Hahahaha

  18. tang ina nyo mga mukang pera

  19. I like the news, they’re giving government reason para papasukin ibang telco company. Tuloy nyo lang yan

  20. This new profit-oriented gimmick by Smart is ridiculous. I encourage others to file a complaint to NTC just as I did. This is the link: http://ncr.ntc.gov.ph/?page_id=19.

    Hopefully the government will have the balls to reverse this or order the telcos to at least offer reasonable rates.

    By the way Globe does the same.

  21. how about prepaid are we also affected by these? I sometimes use the minute based charging to download huge files using LTE/4G.

  22. Napansin ko lang ang daming nagalit agad. Eto po yung nakalagay sa article:

    “All existing Smart postpaid comes with an Add-on Data Plan. If the data allocation for the plan has been completely depleted, subscribers may choose to (1) subscribe to another data add-on plan OR (2) enroll to the Php2/MB default data rate by texting DATA ON to 9999.”

    Hindi naman po automatic na Php2/MB pakibasa na lang ulit

  23. now i realize kaya pala mayroong anti terorist ay dahil din dito…hahayyyyyy buhay

  24. buti pa siguro bombahin nalang mga tower…ang laki na ng nagastos ko dito…

  25. itinatapon ng smart mga users nila sa kabila. pero honestly comparing between smart and globe, mas ok connection ng smart, sa globe mas mura mas panget connection. pero i hope smart do charge us accordingly

  26. Putik Smart ano na nman yan mga gahaman, patay nah lahat consumer nyo

  27. LOL! what part kaya ng statement ang magulo?

    SMART will still have its data plan promos, this will only take effect once your ADD ON DATA PROMOS, DATA PLAN runs OUT, the USER still decides if he will get another DATA PROMO or THIS NEW DATA charges..

    anong pinag sasabi nyo mga kalokohan dyan?

  28. congratulations smart, you have reached a new level of dumb!
    im a heavy bandwidth user, i currently use PLDC, i mean pldt lol.
    normally, i consume around 1gb of data a day. and 9-10gb when i do something heavy like downloading.
    jesus, ph will be the laughing stock once again in the international forums…
    we will be heavily shatted upon once again by foreigners, because anywhere else has better internet plans
    than our developing country,

  29. Wait, this applies to Smart Postpaid only? What about Smart Prepaid and Smartbro accounts?

  30. Lang kwenta talaga tong smart. sana matuloy yung pasok nang new telco para mag mura sila lahat..,

  31. Apektado na mga Corpo Account SIm dito?

  32. hahay tataba at tibatiba na naman ang mga na upper management ng smart. fat ass.

  33. Bakit copy paste sa comment at reply yung ronald? Tiga smart ka ba?
    Pabasa na lang din yung FAQs ng Smart sa website nila. Pag naubos na data allocation di na makaka access sa internet nila unless mag subscribe ng data add on o kaya mag register sa 2 pesos per MB. Wow na wow

  34. lilipat sila sa Globe eh ganyan na rin sila.. haha.. check their terms and conditions

  35. permi rna sila gataas pero ila service kai gaubos… pakaulaw rmn na silla .. mamawi na sila kai pag,abot sa 2019 kai wla nai smart connection ang government na ang mgadumala… antos sa tah kai muabot ra ang panahun nga daghan sila mangawad,an ug trabaho tungud sa ila pagtaas sa bayad unya hinay nga service…..

  36. bye porn
